Thousands rally for Palestinian cause in New York City| DT Next

#newyork #timessquare #israelpalestine U.S. law enforcement agencies stepped up security measures on Friday (October 13) to safeguard Jewish and Muslim communities amid global protests over Israeli-Arab bloodshed in the Middle East, as thousands of pro-Palestinian demonstrators took to the streets in New York City. Throngs of protesters assembled near Times Square in Manhattan, demanding Palestinian independence and decrying Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as his government intensified its strikes on Gaza in retaliation for assaults in Israel by Hamas. The protesters, many wearing masks to conceal their identities out of what they said was concern for their own safety, chanted such slogans as "Free Palestine," and "Netanyahu, what do you say? How many kids have you killed today?" #dtnext #englishnews #latestnews #israel #palestine #israeli #gazas #hamas #newyork #gazastrip #newyorkcity #columbiauniversity #rally
